It's used in the step-up chain of the SR620 for instance. The SR620 has 
a 10 MHz oscillator (TCXO or as in my case a Wenzel OCXO) which is 
stepped up to 90 MHz using a fairly ordinary odd-order stepup and 
filtering chain. The ECL logic counter frontend use this as coarse 
counter frequency. The analog interpolators is a bit interesting in a 
few peculiarities but nothing really exciting.

The crystal filters of that chain is setup in PI-filter style with the 
crystals in serial mode.

Indeed. I wonder if he really needs that level of sine purity. An LC 
tank should be sufficient to get started.

Cheers,
